Assistant Coach Tracker

I've changed my mind on Pettine. I think we should go hard at bringing in Tony Romo as DC.

 

[Jerellh528]

So the Packers wanted Darren Rizzi for ST coach, but didn't want to pay for him.

Don’t take that report for gospel, Zach Kruse isn’t the best of sources. He’s just trying to connect some dots here.

New QB coach, Luke Getsy.

Luke Getsy like the old WR coach? Interesting!

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Guessing Getsy is a pretty well known commodity and someone Aaron has worked with when Luke was the WR coach.

#12 is going to being feeling old, Getsy is younger than him and Lefleur and Hackett are both under 40.

 

[Jerellh528]

Interesting, Angelichio won’t be retained as originally thought. Guess it wasn’t official

[Jerellh528]

The Outten TE coach hiring is the first on his staff that I’m pretty skeptical about, he’s got like no experience to speak of.

 

[Dantés]

I wonder if they pursued Getsy for WR but he wouldn't come back unless it was QB. The latter is a much more well worn path to OC and therefore HC.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Yes and if you look at his career path, makes more sense for Getsy....

As coach:

• Akron (GA) (2007–2008)
• West Virginia Wesleyan (OC) (2009)
• Pittsburgh (GA) (2010)
• Indiana (PA) (OC/QB) (2011–2012)
• Western Michigan (WR) (2013)
• Green Bay Packers (OQC) (2014–2015)
• Green Bay Packers (WR) (2016–2017)
• Mississippi State (OC/WR) (2018)

While Angelichio had a lot of experience as a TE coach, maybe this is the complacency thing? It wasn't like his TE groups were blowing any ones doors off.

Or Angelichio decided not to stay?

 

[GleefulGary]

TE's aren't that hard to coach. They're essentially an extension of the OL, and the WR coach can help out there too.

I don’t know, I’m assuming it was the complacency/Lafleur wanting his own guy there thing. I’m not upset at all that Angelichio isn’t being retained. Like you said, our TE group haven’t been world beaters or anything like that.

LaFeur is going to have a better coaching tree than McCarthy pretty soon lol

I am surprised that he is coming back as QB coach. Wonder if the Packers consulted with Rodgers before making this hire.

Wonder if he will also coach WR's?

It would absolutely shock me if we found out that Rodgers and Getsy didn't have a good relationship in the past, despite Getsy being just the WR coach at the time he left. This may have been one of the reasons he is being brought back.

Getsy is another in a series of young hires by the Packers. They must have liked his potential as a QB coach.

I would hope that the Packers also hire a WR coach, too many players and duties to combine the QB/WR coach into one job, IMO.

EDIT: This is a pretty decent article about the Getsy hire and his relationship with Rodgers.

Seems like Quantrell Bishop is off his meds again.

LOL....."I did that in 2004......on my PlayStation"

Have to say, if this is all an act.....the man is hysterical, but I don't think its an act.

Yeah, rumors come and go and end up unverfiable.

There is a point to made, though. This is a business like any other with an element of the hiring process like any other: the employer has a max they will pay and the candidate has a min he will accept. Sometimes they simply do not cross. That a preferred coach might at some time not have been hired because he wanted more than the team was willing to pay has surely happened. Which ones? You wouldn't know unless you were in the room. Even if one the parties blabbed, would you want to trust him? Not necessarily.

 

[GB2016]

Open your eyes...we have a QB running the show. Now involved in hiring assistant coaches. This will not end well!

Nice hire.

Right, like playing first base:

I've heard quite the opposite. Outside of QB supposedly it's the hardest to coach, since they need to know routes as well as blocking schemes.

The Packers interview Mike Mallory for special teams coordinator position. Someone started a thread on it, but thought it should be mentioned in this thread.

A snippet from this article is extremely telling about the state of the Packers special teams and how far it's plummeted under Zook's watch:

In the Packer Report Special Teams Rankings, the Packers came in dead last out all 32 teams. The rankings used five criteria including field position on kickoffs/kickoff returns, net punting for/against and field-goal percentage. The Packers were the only team to finish 20th or worse in all five categories.

That is just abysmal. LaFleur clearly agrees since he was one of the first to get the boot.

That same article says Mike Mallory was responsible for the Jaguars having the 27th ranked special teams unit in 2016 and was demoted as a result.

Edit: Another article https://247sports.com/nfl/green-bay...ial-teams-last-place-Rick-Gosselin-128206506/

Mallory's special teams units have been all over the map:

Ranked 7th in 2013.
Ranked 27th in 2014.
Ranked 3rd in 2015.
Ranked 28th in 2016.

I guess from that pattern, if the Packers hire him, we'll have the #1 ST unit in 2019, and then the #29 ST unit in 2020.
